Zenkitty - I really haven't decided yet. I might pass it on to Kelly if she wants it. If not, I'll let you know. It does have lifetime programming - is that transferable? I need to look into that.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Jessica, we've had good results both with Magellan Roadmates and TomToms. The only thing I'd recommend is spending a little more and getting one with lifetime map updates.
The C3P0 voice will probably be pretty entertaining.
Anyone else have a Tivo Premier? Any opinions?
The new OS feels like a work in progress to me. Sometimes I get the old screens and sometimes I get the new ones, with little rhyme or reason to it. But if you didn't previously have an HD Tivo, then you'll love it regardless.
Thanks Jon. My current machine is a Series 2. I'm also looking forward to being able to get Netflix streaming through my Tivo.
Yeah, it's a big step up from a S2. If you already have a S3, I wouldn't bother upgrading. I did, and partly regret it.
Suzi, yes, the lifetime Tivo is transferable.
It might be transferrable now, but there was definitely a time when the subscription went with the box. If you bought it then, they may be difficult.
Vortex, that was what I meant, the subscription with the box to a new person. I don't think you can shift a subscription from one box to another.
Yeah, I meant that it can be transferee to the new person. I know this because my friend gave me my Tivo and it was a cinch to put it in my name with the lifetime service.
